Exploring Lake Travis by boat

Staying the weekend at the Lost Parrot Cabins, Morrocan themed cabin, E, with a full kitchen (remember to bring your oils and spices) with pots, pans, plates, glasses, cooking utencils, steak knives, coffee mugs, and cutting boards.  Used the outdoor gas grill by our cabin to cook our (marinaded with smashed garlic, oil, pepper, red wine) ribeyes. Enjoyed it with sauted green beans in olive oil, garlic, and pepper, and finished with a bottle of Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvgnon.

View from Oasis Texas Brewery of Mansfield Dam and full Lake Travis. Enjoyed their stout and session in the A/C cooled bar, watching football and eating their beer braised pork frito pie with picante.

Pulled into a slip at the Rusty Rudder Restaurant for guacamole and chips, cranberry lemonade, beer, and lunch. 

Beer, beer, and more beer at another brewery, pumpkin beer.  Stop at Infamous Brewery near the Lake with Whitley.  On to Rainey Street with Whitley to explore dog friendly bars, Craft Pride Bar that serves only Texas beer, more pumpkin beer and eat delicious detroit style pizza from the food truck out back (similar to Chicago deep dish but no bread crust around the sides and square).  Loved the live music out back, band called Clydes.
